In Response To: Mast Raising System (pic) (Bob Mendes)

You need a mast crutch which extends high for mast raising, then retracts lower for trailering, and it should have a roller on top so that you can easily move the mast from the step to the trailering position and back.
You can also free yourself from the need for the trailer winch. More:

You can make a plywood mount for a roller to sit on the bow pulpit -- Rob - P-21 Windance, Glen-L Minuet - Double Nickel -- 7/22/08 11:53a.m.
